Which impact do remote working people have actually?

 

People who can work location independently, among them digital nomads, are no longer a nichy niche of a few crazy people out there. Officials and governments start to take this movement seriously. Good for them as there are amazing potentials out there.

 

Goncalo Hall from Portugal is seeing those potentials, too, and came up with a project no smaller than a digital nomad village. Yes, read again if you can’t quite believe it.

 

The very first time of this project took part on the Madeira of Portugal.

 

Listen to a story of an unprecedented enterprise.

 

In this episode you will learn about...

Which challenges and details Goncalo and his team had to consider when merging a local environment with the digital nomads world

Which were the key features that made this whole project a success

Where the next nomad village is going to happen (whoop whoop!)

At (05:25, TBC) Goncalo speaks about Edo Sadikovic of the rural coworking and coliving project Sende which is located in Galicia, northern Spain. Link: www.sende.co

At (08:38) Goncalo mentions the village Punta do Sol which is basically the main spot on Maderia where things have happened

At (11:34) Goncalo mentions the village Bansko in Bulgaria where Matthias Zeitler and Uwe Allgäuer started coworking and coliving project years ago and it’s now another hotspot on the radar of digital nomads. Link: www.coworkingbansko.com

Coliving deluxe next level? Voilà, Katia has it for you!

But wait! Until the first digital nomads had walked through the gates of this place there were a few hurdles to take for Katia and her partner. 

It might be more than counterintuitive, especially when pursuing a location independent lifestyle, to commit yourself with maybe the biggest thing you’ve ever did in life.

Put your romanticism aside for the next 30 minutes and hear what it really means to have such a mammoth project only even starting.

In this episode you will learn about...

How Katia transitioned into a nomadic lifestyle in a time when the term “digital nomad” did not even exist yet

What it takes in the core to start your own coworking and coliving project

Why you can’t simply transform your guesthouse into a coworking and coliving project (spoiler alert: you’re not covered with a somewhat faster internet connection than before)

How you can buy your own castle tomorrow! (Okay no, that’s a lie)

In this episode you will learn about...

How to find and get a purpose remote job

What companies will really look for in the future

Why not everything is gold that shines in the digital nomad world

If you have the dream to get on this level you should listen to this episode right now!

Original talk had been held by Jorin Eichhorn at the re:build online event on April 30th 2021 

This is the first episode of the Economadia podcast where co-founder Jorin is all by himself sharing his knowledge and views about how both, digital nomads and regenerative villages, could benefit from each other.

Jorin is an expert in rural coworking and coliving and has a wide-spread network in this yet very small movement.

You will learn in this episode about...

what regenerative villages are at a glance

the digital nomad lifestyle in general

how this is going to be combined and be looked at from both perspectives of how that would work together well

The main point is to make clear how location independent people could not only fit but thrive in such a regenerative village.

It's been said that Covid-19 has accelerated a bunch of processes which would have otherwise taken much longer under "normal" circumstances.

This is certainly true for remote work and everything that revolves around that topic - such as rural coworking and coliving projects which are to become a serious alternative to living in the (big) city.

Miloš and Stefan from Serbia are working on such a rural coworking and coliving project called "Nomadica".

They take you on a little journey on how to get started and why they region offers great advantages for their project.

Nomadica is representative for many more projects of this nature that will appear on the map in the next years - Economadia keeps you up date, feel free to subscribe to our newsletter!

It is when we have bad experiences when we learn most. When shit hits the fan and we have to go through rough times we grow most out them.

Our initial idea at Economadia was how the concept of an eco-village and digital nomads could actually go together. That was back in 2016. A few years down the road and with Covid-19 in our world, this thought does not seem to be that far off anymore.

But hold on a minute!

Creating whatever intentional community is not a walk in the park. Scott discloses a few very great insights of his attempt to create an eco-village in South Africa – and how it miserably failed because of one thing you might not even think of.
